STORY 1: Developer Nixes Plans for Medical Complex in Cherokee County

A planned medical complex in Cherokee County’s Avery community will no longer proceed, as developer Mack Development Group has withdrawn from the project. The property at 7658 Union Hill Road, near Avery Elementary, may now be available at a reduced price. County leaders, including Commissioners Steve West and Richard Weatherby, are exploring purchasing the land for a future park, though development would take years. The site was rezoned in March for office institutional use, despite mixed public feedback and a petition with over 950 signatures opposing the project.

STORY 2: Cherokee Authorities Looking for 13-Year-Old Last Seen Monday

The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office is seeking help to locate 13-year-old Jamel Nalls, reported missing on April 21 near Bells Ferry Road by the Cobb County line. Jamel, described as Black with red hair, brown eyes, 5’02”, and 130 pounds, was last seen wearing a white shirt, black jeans, white shoes, and carrying a grey and blue backpack while riding a black bicycle with green lettering. He may be heading to the Austell area. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office at 770-928-0239 or call 911.

STORY 3: Cherokee County Firefighters and First Responders Earn Awards

Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services honored its personnel with awards recognizing exceptional achievements from April 14-16. The EMS Lifesaver Award went to 24 individuals for life-saving actions during emergencies, while the Firefighter Lifesaver Award was given to five firefighters for heroic efforts. Officer Jesse Hamilton received the Civilian Lifesaver Award. The Unit Citation recognized teams for outstanding performance during major incidents, and the Meritorious Service Award was presented to Nichole Drgan for sustained excellence. The Community Service Award honored four members for exceptional public service and representation of the department.
